ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MONDAY, MARCH 2ND, 2015
Sunrise: 7:01 am
Sunset: 6:20 pm
Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Dr. Seuss Day, a full twenty four hours to make a mess with the Cat in the Hat, dance around with the Fox in Sox, hear a Who with Horton, count the red and blue fish, help the Grinch see the error of his ways, and listen to Sam I Am’s friend complain about his dish of green eggs and ham
March 2nd is a celebration of his life and works, as it was on this day in 1904 that he entered the world. Having lived eighty seven years and made an incredible impact on numerous generations, he died in 1991 at his home in La Jolla, California. His many bizarre, colorful and zany tales are still cherished by young and old alike, and, having been translated into more than twenty languages, are read all across the world every single day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope. Which is what I do. And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
Dr. Seuss
Looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope isn’t a bad thing at all. I often have to laugh at life’s realities. Better to laugh than to cry for sure. It’s a proven fact that laughing is good for you and takes away a lot of stress.
One of the things on my list to give up for Lent was to
Give up gloom——enjoy the beauty that is all around you.
This is not bad advice at any time of year but especially now when we’ve been hit with more snow. On the bright side, tomorrow we’ll be seeing temps close to 40 degrees. Yay ! There will be some melting going on !
Have some fun today and don’t forget to laugh. Hope you Tuesday is a terrific one!
There was no time for play.
This was no time for fun.
This was no time for games.
There was work to be done.
All that deep,
Deep, deep snow,
All that snow had to go.
When our mother went
Down to the town for the day,
She said, "somebody has to
Clean all this away.
Somebody, SOMEBODY
Has to, you see.
Then she picked out two Somebodies.
Sally and me.
Dr. Seuss
First Warning for you !
We’ll move our clocks forward one hour this coming Sunday, March 8th!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A person's a person, no matter how small
Dr. Seuss
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2541. For Dr. Seuss and his countless books
2542. for a reminder to laugh
2543. for eggs and ham
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good
Dr. Seuss
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

John and I read the snow moving story last week. I hope he never outgrows them. I haven't. I am doing the spring countdown with you.
I always enjoy Dr. Seuss' work; such a talented man he was! We don't spring forward here in Arizona :)
